I mean, it wouldn't surprise me if they do. nVidia has been beating the "AI" drum since before the marketing buzzword became "AI". They've been working on and pushing machine learning for a long time now. Well these days, it is paying off in...

And to be fair, I think that's a legit way to do games. I can appreciate a game that is really big and open, but kinda shallow and a "make your own fun exploring and gathering" situation, just like I can appreciate a game that is a very tight...

Doesn't have to be as powerful as nVidia to still be a nice step forward. The thing is, the better the RT AMD has, the more games that'll implement RT. Right now RT is pretty much a PC-only, nVidia-only feature. Ya you CAN use it on other stuff...

True, but they make it difficult, it pushes it pretty hard... kinda like Windows these days. You don't have to use a MS account, I don't, they just make it a PITA not to. I don't love it, I'm not trying to defend it as a good thing, but I don't...

Nah man, there were LOTS of people (well, angry Internet nerds) who were upset. I saw more than a few posts here of "I'm never switching off 7, 10 sucks, MS sucks, your face sucks!" kind of thing. Has happened with every version of Windows I've...

Not a ton. I can give you a big list if you like but most of it is pretty minor. For users here, the biggest thing is better HDR support and general graphics pipeline improvements. If you game, particularly in HDR, Windows 11 is better. However...

Few will bother. Setting up a dual boot system isn't hard, but it is a lot harder than just updating your OS. Despite what the nerd rage here may tell you, the reason people are on 10 is because it works fine and they don't bother to upgrade, not...

It's always what happens with Windows. Most people are real apathetic about upgrades so it doesn't happen until it is forced or happens naturally through attrition. Funny thing is, same shit happens with Linux a lot too. You don't tend to see it...

It's literally just using optical flow data to say "objects moved from here to there in these two frames so stuff should be... here-ish for an intermediate frame." It can actually, potentially, increase latency a bit as it needs to have a...

It works pretty well, particularly at higher frame rates. It isn't perfect, but you really don't notice things looking off too much. Again the higher the source FPS the less you'll notice. However it does have two big downsides: 1) The game...

Also ML may be less of a bitch with the multi-chip problems because it is less time sensitive. There are lots of things that scale not just to multiple chiplets or chips but multiple nodes real well. The problem with realtime graphics is that...

I mean, it shouldn't be a huge surprise given the issues with multiple GPUs. Sure that is going to be slower in some respects since you are connecting over an external bus which is going to be hard to make as fast as something on the same package...

It can be pretty impressive for special effects. In Jedi Survivor when you get flash-banged it'll do as bright a full screen white as it can and it is really impactful. That said, it isn't that big a deal. No it really wouldn't because you have...

Ya. While 120fps is something I can get in quite a few games, it is usually pretty closed to maxed on the GPU so, even CPU limits aside, there would just be no going to 240fps. Plenty won't even hold that these days with all the shinies turned...

I like high framerate, but I just can't see cranking down the detail enough to get 240Hz, even if I had a monitor that could handle it. I like shinies too much.

Ya that's where I am as well. I just do not get the nerd rage over this. Particularly with Aloy. I don't see anything egregiously wrong with her character model, she does not, in fact, "look like a chick with a dick" or any of that. It just seems...

I'm more on the side of not giving a damn and focusing on playing the game. Do I give the male characters' faces much thought? No, I don't care.

Well RTings has a huge issue in their test, for real world usage, which is that they run both at their max brightness, and the QD-OLEDs have a higher max brightness. Now while I understand their idea of "we run it at whatever the max is" that's...

That's why I'm so interested in Hardwar Unboxed's test. Basically what they are doing is using the monitor for productivity, leaving on any screen protecting features that are non-obtrusive (like pixel shift and compensation cycles) and turning...

So... I have to ask... Why are people here so worked up about little details of how the character looks? This seems like some extremely silly whining. Unless the character has some real jank design, why does it matter the details of how they...
